This time it is Hope Hese that comes to the front and again secures the leading position alter resigning it to the Yacht club a few days ago. St. Mary’s School also makes a step forward and easily holds third position, while Center school increases its num- ber of votes. . -._.___.___ Will Be Dated. Several ol’ the leaders in the contest for the EVENING GAZETTE’S piano have called upon us and requested that we return to the original plan of dating the coupons, in order that each contestant will have some knowledge of the strength of the other. Upon consideration we have decided to comply with their wishes, and will on April 6th next, commence and date the ballots each day as Was done at the opening of the contest, allowing one week in which to deposit them. We have act the date for the sixth of April in order that all contestants will have ample time in which to hand in the ballots now out. After that time no ballots will be received unless dated .as stated above. Forest Preservation. "Undue importance has been given in "various quarters to the recent and in- formal selection of a number of distin- guished cltiZdUS to Consider the subject of forest preservation with a view to State and national legislation thereon. This is not, as some of our exchaiges cheerfully announce, anational forestry commission, clothed with authority to adopt measures for the preservation of forests on public land. We wish it were all that it is assuhed to be, for the sub- ject is one of vast importance Con- gress should have given it proper at- tention long ago. Irremediable injury has resulted from neglect of Congress and State Legislatures to check the wholesale devastation of woodlands by fire and ax. The powers of the commissioners re- cently named are limited to.iuvestiga- tion and suggestion. Secretary Smith of the Interior Department, having be- come convinced of the imperative ne- cessity of doing something that would check the work of destruction, asked President Gibbs, 'of the American Academy, a body of scientists and scholars. chartered by and co-operating with Congress, to make suggestions as to the best methods of forest preserva— tion. As’ a result of this request the Presidentof the Academy has appointed Prof. Sargent, Alexander Agassiz, Gen. H. L. Abbott, Prof. W. H. Brewer, of Yale; Arnold Hagge, and Gifford Pin- chot, a’committee to take the matter into consideration and make such recommendations as they deem proper. It is the duty of the Academy, under the terms of the' charter, to furnish the departments or Congress information and. advice on questions of practical science when requested to do so. The gentlemen named by Presidgnt Gibbs are eminently fitted for the work re- quired of them, and good results are :easonably exaected from their report List of Patents.

The Republican state central com mittee of Connecticut ,will meet at Hartford next Wednesday night. Her- bert E. Benton has held the chairman- ship of the committee for the past six years and it is understood he will retire this spring. The matters of the‘succes- sion will not be adjusted until the meet- respondent of the New York Times. That willbe held at New Haven the last of April or the first week in May. At the present time ex-Speaker Allan W. Paige of Bridgeport, is the man talked of as Mr. Benton’s successor. His selection will be favored by Samuel Fessenden of Stamford, Connecticut member of the national *Republican committee and a pronounced candidate for Senator O. H. Platt’s place in the United States Senate. The first step in the senatorial contest, that is to play so i nportaut a part‘in Connecticut politics this year, will be this election.of Mr. Benton’s successor. The state central committee meeting will let some light on the presidential question. One thing will be shown, that no set of men can commit the state to McKinley. Not since the war has Connecticut sent an instructed delega- tion to a Republican national conven- tion. Already the candidates for dele- gates to the St. Louis convention are pressing to the front. ' Ex-Governor Bulkeley will head the delegation. George Sikes, of Rockville, the home of Congressman E. Stevens Henry; and ex-Congressman John R. Buck of Hart- ford are in line for places in the dele- gation. United States DistrictlAttor- ney George P. McLean, whose four years’ term of office under the govern- ment will expire the ldtt of this month, can secure a place in the delegation it he desires it. Norwich is booked for delegate from the 3d congressional district. John Addison Porter. editor df the Hartford Post, will enter the state con- veniion asa candidate for governor. .l‘wo years ago he turned his strength 'over to Gov. Coffin in the convention and carried the nomination for him. .ilr. Porter will not be a factional can- didate of the young Republican of the stale against the old leaders, and he will not be committed to either side in the frictional figlit that has already taken shape between Fessenden and Plait for the United States senator- ship. In the 2d district Senator John M. Douglass ot' Middlelown, who reached ahe state senate last year without so much as an expression of congratula-V lion from Gov. Coffin,:who is his neigh-' bor and feliow-toansman; C. G. R. Vina’, also of Middleiown; ex-United States Revenue Collector John I. HutUlJlSun of Essex, and Charles L. Rockwell. cashier ot' the First National bank in Meriden, are the candidates for delegates to St. L )uis. In the 4th dis- trict ex-Insurance Commissioner 0. R. Fyler of 'l‘orrington, Siiles Judson, Jr., of Stratford, and Senator William H. Marigold of Bridgeport, are the candi- dates mostly considered. There Will be a number of Reed men in the doz:n to be chosen from the nutmeg state. It Would not be surprising if the Ohio man was distanced by his compttdor from Maine. As between McKinley and Gov. Morton of New York, Con- necticut will stand for the New York aspirant. ' Ferry Under Arrest. John Ferry of Bethel, who eloped with Miss May Harrington, his young Sitter-lD-IRW, a couple of weeks ago, returned to Newtown last Sunday night and a sheriff from Litchfield, where the Harrington girl resides, made his ap- pearance in Bethel with a warrant for Ferry’s arrest, and took him in charge. Ferry Will be tried in Litchfield for abduction and other improper conduct. ___————<—.- HERE AND THERE. ——Boy wanted at this office.

In men, the sense of smell is less de- veloped than that of sight, as it is much less needed. h, A large nose in a. weak face is in- dicative of unintelligence and stupidity. Idiots have such noses. A red nose may be due to clioleric temper, a bad liver, or bad liquor. In any case it. is an unfortunate sign. Man is the only animal Whose nostrils open downward. Even in the highest apes the nostrils open to the front. The external prominence of the nose in man is due to the arrangementand formation of the cartilages attached to the nasal bones. nose descends straight from the fore- head, without any intermediate cavity or mark of division. nev’s, lzNoi'th Main street, South Nor-- In many Greek portrait busts the “SOIUTH NORWALKIP Place your ad in the EVENING GA- ZETTE and catch the Spring trade.

The house of the Caaba, or holy resort of Mecca, is covered with a. canopy of black silk velvet. In the 18th century silken cocoons sold in the London market for one shil~ ling per pound. Roger, king of Italy, is said to have in- troduced silk culture into that country about 1146. In the south of China. silk worms have been reared and silk manufac- tured for over 3,000 years. Some authorities on dyeing say that silk receives and holds a. dye better than any other fabric. Between the years of 1760 and of 1776 100,000 pounds of silk were exported from Georgia. to England. The silk' mot-h emerges from its co- ’ coon in from 15 to 60 days, according to the temperature. Two Sponges The Kidneys may be likened to two sponges through which the blood ofthe body passes.
